Sometimes the Mooch is stranger than fiction.

Trump-boosting ex-White House aide Anthony Scaramucci may soon get his own TV show to butt heads with high-profile Trump critic Michael Avenatti, according to network insiders.

Prominent TV agent Jay Sures has recently pitched a show concept to CNN and MSNBC in which the Mooch would square off against Avenatti in a tête-à-tête political showdown, CNN media correspondent Brian Stelter confirmed via Twitter.

Scaramucci, a one-time White House communications director, was fired after just 11 days on the job in the wake of a profanity-laced magazine interview. He's one of President Trump's most combative supporters outside the White House.

Avenatti, who represents porn star Stormy Daniels in a defamation lawsuit against Trump, appears on cable news shows several times a week, often to engage in heated back-and-forths with supporters of the President.

The Mooch and Avenatti both threw cold water on the prospect of them starring in the same show.

"Lol. I have no interest in television right now," Avenatti tweeted.

Scaramucci played it more coy, tweeting the name of the show should be "Not Happening."
